Rachel & Mical
Things To Do
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
For their first date, Rachel led Mical through a rainforest hike in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where she used to work as a ranger for a summer in high school. The national park continues to be one of our favorite places. *If we’re lucky Madam Pele may continue to show off with an eruption to view, but the volcano is a very dynamic landscape that is constantly changing. Eruption or not, we encourage you to explore their website and make a stop there during your visit!
Hilo Farmer's Market
The Hilo Farmer's Market is a must stop. Produce vendors are set up every day, but Wednesdays and Saturdays are the "big" days when you will find all the craft vendors there as well. Get some island fruit, souvenirs, and grab an Acai Bowl from Kula shave ice or lunch at Poke and Sides.
Onomea Bay Trail
1.2 mile scenic loop trail just outside Hilo. This trail is open to the public, but there is also a tropical botanical garden directly next to it. See https://htbg.com/plan-your-visit/ for details.
Volcano Winery
Just 8 miles from our venue is Volcano Winery, which offers wine tastings daily as well as tours of their vineyard and production room.
Big Island Meadery
Located just off the highway in Keaau (between Hilo and Volcano) is this relatively new local meadery. Stop in for a tasting or take a few bottles home with you.
Wailuku Brew Works
Local Craft Brewery owned and operated by one of our ER doctors.
